Yes, there is a reason for Østberg's S12 not staying all black for very long :pQuote:

Livestram is live now. Official presentation will be at 7.30 PM GMT +1.
This is the start of something really new in WRC!!
The way VW-Motorsport presenting their car and the way personalities attend and speak make everything more important for the future of WRC.
So the only change to the original livery is a Red Bull logo added? Could have done better.

That was a fantastic presentation. They have developped a compete new-media platform and strategy, it was impressive.
Also Mikkelsen was officially confirmed as the 3th driver, starting in Portugal. Mikko Markkula missed his plane by the way! :p
When it is available you MUST check out their new-media strategy video.
why Jari and Miika doesn't have VW logos on their overall's yet?
sorry for my lack of knowledge, does his contract still continues with Ford?
7 minutes yet and beginning the VW Polo WRC presentation in Monaco.
nothing happens on http://www.volkswagen-motorsport.com/
The stream is running. Check your browser ;)
This is the finally livery.

Loose the black wheels and thats the livery of my dreams.
so the the message is: Volkswagen is running the show and the budget, red Bull is only a small partner
I like the livery except for the big "R"s, I would have preffered the VW logo instead of them, but nice anyway :)
When you're putting as much money as VW is behind this project, no sponsor is ever going to be able to pay full freight for the space on the car.Quote:

By the way there are ZF stickers on the car. Did FIA allow another manufacturer to develop transmission or does VW X-Trac or Sadev like others?
EDIT: Answering myself. ZF owns Sachs and therefore supplies dampers and clutch for Polo.
with Citroen they had the overhead of the car, whilst Citroen was pumping a lot of budget in the team. The years before that, Citroen was dominating the livery, with a small space for Total
There are also fake holes on the front ;)Quote:

Some more pics and detail pics (especially the suspension ones are interesting). Also 2 fuel tanks... :)
No sponsors at all on jml overalls! No time to get it ready, or is he just not a red bull driver?
Ogier with full vw, redbull and tag heuer...
Still under contract with Ford. ;) That's why he can't wear the VW logo yet...Quote:

I'm glad that the Red Bull branding is being kept to a minimum. I appreciate what their promotional arm does for the sports they work with, but I've never had much love for their Formula 1 team, so I tend to be ambivalent at best towards the teams they have naming-right sponsorship to.
Thanks
thanks... just look a bit odd, it looks like as if he wasn't part of the team!Quote:

question : do you think the polo will be at the same level than the others? answer : it would be a surprise, as the others have been here for so many years and we can't imagine that we can fight from the beginning. we know we still have few point to develop, but i don't want to speak about it, but i know it.
looks like vw had a few word to ogier regarding what he can say and what he can't. they were probably annoyed that he was complaining at each interview that the development wasn't going as fast as he hopped...
I think that's just Ogier being Ogier. He's been pretty outspoken in the past, and it's gotten him in trouble before. I don't know whether he's naive, stupid, intolerant of the modern obsession with presenting a positive public image, incapable of biting his tongue (even when it is in his interests to do so), or all of the above.
Lol. Being French, you would expect him to be arrogant isn't it?
